JOHN MOSLER AND HERRMAN LADEWIG, OF PHILADELPHIA, PA.

CHAIR AND CARRIAGE FOR CHILDREN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 229,906, dated July 13, 1880.

Application filed March 23, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN MOSLER, a citizen ofthe Uni ted States, and HERRMAN LADEWIG, a subject of Prussia, both residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Combined Chair and Carriage for Children, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the chair and carriage embodying our invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof in a folded condition, partly sectional.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.

This invention relates to childrens chairs which are adapted to'be used as carriages and to fold together for transportation or storage.

The nature of said invention consists in the construction and combination of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.

Referring to the drawings, A A represent cross-legs pivoted to each other, as at a. The upper ends of the legs A are extended upwardly to form the side pieces, I), of the back, and the upper ends of the legs A are extended upwardly to form supports 0 for a tray, B, the seat 0 being secured to a round, d, attached to the supports 0 below the tray B, and to a round, 6, attached to the side pieces, b.

The tray B is attached to arms D, whose rear ends are pivoted to the side pieces, I), said arms forming the arm-rests of the chair.

Attached to the legs A, above the pivot to,

(No model.)

is a foot-rest, E, and secured to the front and rear of the legs, adjacent to the pivot a, are cleats E, which serve as stops for limiting the opening or unfolding motions of the legs.

Frepresents axles, upon which are mounted Wheels f, supporting the legs of the chair, whereby the chair may be moved around and a childs carriage is provided.

' It will be seen that the child may safely occupy the seat G and use the tray B, he being inclosed by the back of the chair, the tray B, and side arms, D, the latter serving as armrests, as has been stated.

When the legs are folded the tray falls under and engages with the foot-rest E, which looks the legs, whereby the chair, in compact condition, maybe carried and transported without danger of opeuin g or unfolding. By properly lifting the tray it clears the foot-rest, and the legs may be unfolded and the parts assume their normal positions.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In combination with folding cross-legs A A and arms D, the foot-rest E on leg A, and the tray B, which catches under said foot-rest and locks the chair when it is folded, substantially as set forth.
